Getting into challenger - can anyone explain ?

Hey everyone i've just got a question about getting in there, i'm diamond division 1 with 99 LP,i won already 6 games with me having 99LP and i always obtained 0 points for win,i would understand that if challenger tier would be full,but it wasn't this evening. I thought i can't get into promotion when challenger is full,but obviously you can since currently there are 48 challengers and 6 people are in promotion into it

It's not about MMR, no one in challanger tier has higher win ratio than me...so it's not about that - anyways some people lost promotions to challenger - 48 spots in chal are still open , played 2 games so 8 in total with + 0 LP

I think I know what the problem is. When someone gets into Challenger tier there is a grace period in which they cannot fall in Diamond I again.So, I suppose the last person in this tier is in this grace period right now and no new players can join Challenger until it is over. (It is only my assumption)

Basically your hidden MMR is connected to your LP. The system, for the challenger tier, has to deem two things. Initially that your MMR is enough so that you can join the challenger tier and secondly that you are a better player then one of the lowest in the existing challenger tier because in challenger tier, when someone is promoted then someone else from Challenger is dropped to Diamond 1.

Wait... Isn't grace period around 5 games? And you can be 4 (or something along those lines) weeks without playing so your elo doesn't drop, right?
...It kinda sounds like you can effectively block challenger tier for almost 5 months by getting there, and then playing (and losing) only once/4 weeks, effectively blocking last place with your grace period.
Hope im wrong, but can anyone clarify this?

What you said applies for rest of tiers, challenger is different, the grace period here is I believe 2 days, once someone gets higher MMR you are replaced.

Thanks for the post,but i checked whole challenger tier and no one in challenger has better win ratio than me,i'll just keep playing and see what happens
